Below are the Pros and Cons of watching TV.
Pros:
1.) Entertainment and Laughter
We are entertained by shows we love to watch.We laugh at things we find funny and comical in the TV program we are watching.
2.) Information and How-To
We learn a lot of information about places and people that we usually don't learn on magazines,books and newspapers.We also easily learn how to cook new recipes by watching cooking shows and we can learn doing some other stuff through programs that show step-by-step procedures of performing a particular work,exercise or other interesting stuff.
3.) Improve Memory and Easy Learning
We usually take note of the time schedule for our favorite programs especially if it is only shown once or twice a week.We tend to store and recall the things that recently happened in our favorite show before the next episode will be shown on TV.This will help enhance our memory which we can apply on our daily life.
4.) Bonding With Family and Friends
Watching TV is a great way to bond with family and friends especially on weekends.You can laugh and discuss things that you see on TV.That can be really fun.
Cons:
1.) Decline in creativity and imagination.
TV shows including commercials have tendency to share their creative works on us and impart their ideas and opinions on us which is not favorable and can lead to a decline in our creativity and imagination since we can not think on our own since creative stuff are readily available and shared to us.
2.) Health problems
We usually eat junk foods or any of our favorite snacks while watching TV.This is not good for our health because we tend to eat a lot while we are sitting down facing the television.This can lead to obesity since we don't move a lot when we watch TV.This can also lead to other serious ailments caused by eating a lot and moving less.
3.) Makes people lazy
Most of us get hooked when watching programs of our favorite TV channel.We sometimes even forget to do our work or other important things because we got engaged in the show we are watching.Some people forget to do their household chores because they would rather watch TV than work.
4.) Some shows don't teach good values.
There are TV programs that do not teach good values particularly to children.Instead of teaching them good deeds they even imitate,re-enact or spoof important things happening around us which is not good for children to watch.
